Melsungen - Elite 20" Final (1/2)

We return to the forests of Melsungen once more to relive the highlights of the European Championship through the lens of Elmar Hopperdietzel (Elmar’s Trialpage / Elmar Fotodesign)... Following on from his galleries of the Elite 26” final (Parts 1 & 2, here are his photos from the Elite 20" final, which saw a show of strength from World Champion Benito Ros, who brilliantly retained his European title.

Vice World Champion Rafal Kumorowski was back at his best in Melsungen, taking the silver medal.

The World Champion dominated the 20” European Championship from the start and reclaimed the jersey that Dani Comas, who had not come to defend his title, had taken from him last year. Benito left his competitors trailing with a total of nine cleans in twelve sections!

This time it’s top Belgian Elite rider who is the focus of this Cerny by Tribal Zine gallery. Kenny took part in the first round of the French Cup, competing alongside his UCI rivals as training for World rounds, and finished fourth!
